Default Fitting 2016 LED Tail Lights to 13 - 15

Has anyone attempted doing this to 13 - 15 model years? Can it be done?

I am aware that it can be fitted, but the plugs/wiring may need modification, is there a wiring harness kit out that can do a direct swap n' plug?

I am in love with the 16 LED tail lights and I must have them.

There's no way to tell unless you compare the harnesses. But, the light types haven't changed. The park/brake lights are still LED and the indicators and reverse are incandescent, Simone can imagine the harness would be the same.

This is how the harness for your car looks. I'll confirm if they are the same tomorrow and I'll let you know. The picture is your harness

Are you 100% sure about that?

So you are saying the harness (factory plug) is exactly the same 13 - 15 vs. 16?

I have a 16 so I'm slowly helping the op by providing pics of my harnesses to see if they match.

imrankh24: Thanks for posting these photos of the 16 harness.

When you mean the corner lights, you mean the rear (outside) plug harness?

Thanks,
